The Perfect Beach Cottage

We booked our stay at Sunrise Cottage for our son’s bride to have a place to get dressed and take pictures before their beach wedding. The views of the Gulf are breathtaking and I loved how you could sit on the couch and watch the water change colors throughout the day. We were so pleased with the home and the customer service and are thinking about booking the cottage for a week over the summer. I can’t wait to see the pictures the photographer took of the bride and her bridesmaids with that stunning beach view from the living room setting the backdrop.

Amazing views!

The property is a beautiful beachfront and main room as well as upstairs master suite has incredible beach views from all angles. Kitchen was well appointed, and the decor was just beautiful, the opposite of the usual “beach kitsch” one finds at beach rentals. Comfy king beds, nice TV,s lots of chairs and toys for beach. Whenever we texted property mgmt, replies were super fast and helpful. 5 stars all the way!

Great location

We were there for our wedding and had friends and family in town. Thankfully, hurricane Helene didn't bother us.... The location was great! The beach is beautiful. The decks were big for sitting outside. The house was cute but is showing age and wear and tear especially for the price (which I think was off season at the end of September). The main deck was rough and the exterior doors.
